If I go to NY, I really want to meet...her!

The departure day is coming. The departure to America.
Since it's my first time to go to America, I really imagine what it will be like.

What the smell of the air, the voice from information center in Airport, the scenery of America that I will first see in Airport would be like.

Among so many thoughts, someone came across to me, someone fascinated me with her book, her life story, her career...

Perri Klass is pediatrician who also wrote a few novels, have been writing on a journal.
The book through which I first met her is 'Letters to a Young Doctor'.

 When I was a high school student who was concerned about 'what I want to become in the future?', I read this book that really impressed me with the life story of very talented wonderful pediatrician.

 'Wow, this woman is really cool. This is the right ideal person to me! I want to become a doctor like her.'
 Though it seems quite childish now, I can say that she really made a mark in my heart.

 And last year, while I traveling Europe, I took that book with me and read again. At that time, the book really made me dream about my future ; to become a doctor who can write to express my thoughts and share them with many other people, who can make an effort to solve the problems with writings, who can make changes in reality with better ideas and practices...

 Currently, she is teaching on journalism in New York University and also a professor in NYL medical center.

 I plan to read another book of her this time also some journals on NY times. And If it is possible, I'd like to visit her (though for a short time..) and thank her of encouraging me and making me think about 'how can I become a good doctor?', 'what is the good doctor?'...etc.
